The Shaukeens
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a full on Bollywood entertainer that you wouldn't want to miss.
-
Watch The Shaukeens if you want to see a different side of Akshay Kumar and enjoy a few chuckles along the way.
-
...immensely watchable.
-
The terrific threesome play their parts with ease and Lisa adds oomph and colour to the 'grey' streaks.
-
With a catchy soundtrack, a steady supply of giggles, top-notch performances and an engaging script, Abhishek Sharma’s The Shaukeens is a worthy follow-up to his first film, the hilarious Tere Bin Laden.
-
Abhishek Sharma yet again manages to tickle our funny bones after his debut film, Tere Bin Laden.
-
...emerges as a one-time watch, a less than underwhelming follow up to Abhishek Sharma's pathbreaking debut film. But the Khiladi keeps it afloat enough to not seem like a complete waste of time.
-
...director Abhishek Sharma (Tere Bin Laden) gives us a fast food version of what was a very charming and humorous film. Go for it if you have the stomach!
-
...more than what The Shaukeens does right, its redeeming qualities are strictly contained within what it doesn't do wrong.
-
While the main plot is a bit of a downer, the unexpected laughs from Akshay Kumar more than make it worth your time.
-
Whenever Akshay appears on screen, The Shaukeens transforms into another movie -- one that's substantially more comic, cheeky and winsome -- it's the one I enjoyed the most, it's the one I wished I had come to see.
-
Willing to ignore the crassness and take the film for the genre is actually belongs, you might actually find enough laughs.
-
...a lopsided effort – some scenes leave you cringing while others have you rolling on the floor with laughter. A little more quality control would have given us a far better film...
-
There are the odd moments of inspired humor - all crude - between the three senior actors, but for the most part they're wasted.
-
The Shaukeens improves substantially in the second half when it becomes more about Akshay and less about the buddies.
-
It’s only when Akshay Kumar shows up – he plays himself – that we perk up.
-
...lacks depth, energy or pizzazz.
-
This film is a disaster all right, but it is mitigated somewhat by a quirky if uneven subplot that has Akshay playing himself and poking constant fun at the work that he has done thus far as a Bollywood actor.
-
...how much crassness can be stuffed into a film?
-
Watch it only if you are an Akshay fan. He's does not have a screen space of more 20 minutes in this 124-minute-long movie but when he is there, he makes his presence felt.
